Summary:
This is Amy Poehler’s addition to the wonderful string of female comedian memoirs. Discussing her career, her family, and everything in between.
My Thoughts:
I learned a lot about Amy Poehler. While I am a devoted Parks and Rec fan, and her stint on SNL corresponded with a time in my life in which I could still stay up until 1am, I actually didn’t know anything about the Upright Citizens Brigade. She is one busy woman!
I also learned that Amy is a little cruder, but perhaps even funnier, than I thought.
Seth Meyers’ chapter was my favorite. Or maybe the one written by her parents. I would be happy with a tribute half as touching in my own memoir.
Audiobook Thoughts:
If you read this in print, I think you made a mistake.
I just reviewed this today today! I felt the same way, the audio was incredible!

I did read this in print, mainly because my library copy arrived so promptly, and I hate to use an Audible credit on a book this short. And I loved it so much more than I expected to. But I am now on my library’s waiting list for the audiobook, so I will listen to it too.
